Thursday Bonus Post Of Silliness! (Mainframe!)

As most of you know, I love Borderlands. I love the irreverent humor (of the first, especially), I love the overall silliness, and I love the odd situations the game presents you with.

But last night was a bit of a milestone to me.

My partner and I were playing the Pre-Sequel Claptastic Voyage DLC, and we came to a mission that made me giggle more than I possibly ever have in any Borderlands game. The mission was called: You Can Stop the Music.

This is a teensy weensy spoiler, but the mission concludes with a super freakin’ catchy and hilarious song. A song that has been stuck in my head since I heard it.

The even better part was that the song was coming from Teh Earworm, a thresher with giant speakers on either side of his/her head (as seen above).

Just the sight of this thresher put me into gales of giggles. It was so funny looking, I put off killing it as long as I could. I mean, sure, it was attacking us, but holy good gravy, it was one of the funniest things I’ve seen in the Borderlands universe.

But that song.

If iTunes had this for download, I would be so all over it I can’t even tell you, but, alas, there is no legit way to get it. So in the meantime, I will listen to the video below on loop.

Enjoy, friends!

P.S. In case you are curious (like me!), here are the full lyrics to the song (you’re welcome!):

I’m standing in your server roomCause I got kicked off by a noobThe lights are dim but I can seeYour hardware is full qualityI need to apply the patchSo I can get back in the matchThen something caught my eye:A mainframe reaching to the sky

[CHORUS]You’ve got a good-looking mainframeI like the size of your mainframeI’ve got a query for your mainframeCan I make an input/output request?

[repeat multiple times]

It’s standing there so shinyWill you accept my queryI need to prove this theoryAnticipation’s killing meIf you could just calculateWhat is the optimal rateI know you’ll pass the testYour monolithic mainframe is the best!!!
